Mill Lane Construction Traffic
Bellway Homes have started the construction of the Hill View Farm development. Neither the parish council or our city councillors were made aware in advance. We have received numerous complaints in the last few days about speeding construction traffic down Mill Lane and through the village. The clerk has already contacted planning enforcement with regards to this. The response we received is:
“Regarding the Hill View Farm development, Bellway Homes are required to comply with the details of Construction Transport Management Plan (CTMP) which was agreed in May this year. The document can be viewed on our website under reference 20/03034/CND16. The agreed CTMP allows for access to the site along Mill Lane, however the developer must adhere to the agreed hours of operation and implement the measures specified in the document to mitigate the impact to the public. If these measures are not being complied with then we can investigate the matter as an alleged breach of the relevant planning condition. Please let us know if you feel that it is necessary for us to open a new investigation here. “
We will be following this up with planning enforcement.
Domestic Abuse Support
Reducing The Risk is a charity that supports victims of domestic violence and abuse. They are looking for volunteers to befriend and support the victims. To find out more – download the poster here.
